How does the miracle ray work?
The laser is a destructive ray of light that strips off scales of skin by evaporating the water in the skin's cells. It stimulates the production of collagen and has a slight tautening effect because it retracts the tissues. Once you have been equipped with protective glasses for your eyes, the practitioner passes a kind of pencil, which emits the beam, over the area to be treated. He/she follows this with the aid of a computer and varies the power of the ray and the depth of the treatment according to the condition of the inner skin layers, which are displayed on the screen. After the session, the area will be red and covered in little scabs. It will take at least ten days before you will look normal again, provided you wear a thick layer of make-up/

Different kinds of lasers

• The CO₂
  The most powerful and most frequently used laser. It's an effective way of removing brown liver spots caused by hyperactive melanocytes and also removes the fine vertical lines around the lips. Before the procedure you will have to: use a skin preparation with a base of a color removing product enriched with vitamin A acid; have treatment to prevent herpes; take a test to assess your skin's capacity to heal.

• The Erbium
  Gentler and less hot than the CO₂ and the skin recovers more quickly.

• The Derma K
  It combines the effects of the two previously mentioned lasers and is used for the area around the eyes.

Some Facts

• There remains a risk of burns and loss of skin color, especially if the practitioner is not highly skilled. Take care to make the right choice!
• You will have to wait three months to judge the final result. Meanwhile, wear a good covering of make-up.
